The serious lesson is to have a good answer, because some people don't know what else to ask about so they say, "How much do you charge?"

Yep - it's something you have to learn in business.

When I get contacted by people I don't want to work for, I name a number 2-3X my normal rates. Sometimes they say "OK", and I will do the work for that amount.
